Foundations and Government Support

Charitable foundations (private, corporate and government) are making significant contributions to Bosque School’s campus and student programs. Since the founding of Bosque School, foundations have contributed nearly $7 million to the school. While parents, grandparents, faculty/staff and friends of Bosque School continue to contribute the majority of school’s capital and annual dollars, foundations are allowing the school to enhance programs. The lead foundation gift came from the Annenberg Foundation with cumulative giving reaching $1.3 million to complete the Gerald and Betty Ford Library and to establish the Gerald and Betty Ford Presidential Scholarship. Programs such as the
Bosque Ecosystem Monitoring Program (BEMP) rely almost entirely on private foundation and government support. Bosque School is a not-for-profit organization (
501(c)(3).
